Chapter 1963: Foolish in the Previous Life, Even More Foolish in This One (4)
Since Ruan Jianguo and Shu Jiao divorced, days when Shu Jiao returned to the Ruan Family were few and far between. At first, Jiaojiao cared, but she got used to it over time. Anyway, if she really wanted to see her, she could do so anytime.
So the next night at around nine, she was curled up on the sofa watching TV with the Ruanlin Family. When Shu Jiao walked in, it was quite a surprise.
"Mom, it’s so late, why are you here?" she asked, lifting herself up.
Because Ruan Family hotel was closer to the Shu Family, and it was already late, Shu Jiao usually headed that way. That was her intention, but upon hearing this, Shu Jiao’s expression stiffened slightly and she asked vaguely, "What? Mom can’t come this late?"
"Of course not," Ruan Jiaojiao quickly shook her head, "I didn’t mean it like that. I meant to say isn’t it closer to grandpa’s side?"
Ruan Jiaojiao walked over and hugged her arm, explaining.
Shu Jiao knew her emotions were inexplicable, lowered her eyelids, and said, "I had some business in the Western District today, so I came by on the way."
"Have you eaten?" Ruanlin Family asked, rising to stand.
"Mom, I have. You go ahead and watch TV; I’ll take a shower first," Shu Jiao replied.
"Alright, the hot water’s ready," Ruanlin Family nodded, then sat back down and continued watching TV.
Ruan Jiaojiao gazed thoughtfully at Shu Jiao’s back as she returned to her room, a seemingly impossible notion flashing through her mind.
And this notion was quickly confirmed.
Ruan Jiaojiao was accustomed to going to bed early and waking up early, so she headed to her room after ten. Just as she lay down, she heard a knock at the door. Thinking it was Duan Xi, she called out for them to come in, only to see Shu Jiao open the door.
